Problems to be Solved by the Invention
The dishwashing device disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 920 performs the separation of the attached matter on the dishwashing surface with a rotary brush, so that the attached matter is more efficiently separated than a washing apparatus that only sprays a cleaning liquid onto the dishware. It is possible to However, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. Sho 59-171661, a rotating brush is formed by bundling a large number of fibers into a bundle and standing on a substrate, and the fibers in the bundle are spaced at a relatively small interval. It was densely planted. Therefore, foods and the like separated from the tableware may be stuck between the fibers, and when the foods and the like separated between the fibers are stuck in this way, a large number of thin fibers sandwich the food and the like. State. For example, it is difficult to sufficiently separate the stuck food or the like from the rotating brush by washing the rotating brush, so that the time required for cleaning the rotating brush is increased, and the generation of various germs and the like is also increased. There is a problem that there is a high possibility of becoming unsanitary. Since each fiber is thin like a thread, repeated washing of tableware causes the washing effect to be reduced and the washing effect to be reduced, so that there is also a problem that the life is relatively short.

Further, even if the rotating brush is driven by a motor and the dishes are washed with the rotating brush as described above, water is used for finishing washing of the dishes washed with the rotating brush. Since the motor dislikes moisture, it is necessary to waterproof the motor to prevent the motor from being affected by moisture, and there is a problem that its configuration becomes complicated.

[0007] The present invention is to maintain a sanitary condition by separating foods and the like adhered to the washing surface of tableware from the tableware without separating and reattaching the separated foods and the like. It is an object of the present invention to provide a dishwashing apparatus provided with a rotating brush which can be easily operated, and a dishwashing apparatus capable of driving a rotating brush for washing dishes by a hydraulic turbine.

In the case of a circle, the diameter may be about 4 to 8 mm. If it is smaller than this, it will fall down due to the centrifugal force during rotation, and the cleaning effect will be reduced. When the cross-sectional shape of the linear material is a square such as a square, a triangle, a pentagon, and a hexagon, the width of one side or the dimension of a diagonal line is 4 to 8 mm.
The degree can be mentioned.

[0011] The length of the linear material is set to a length suitable to bend in contact with the cleaning surface of the object to be cleaned, and corresponds to conditions such as hardness and size of the linear material.

The hardness of the linear material is high when the linear material is small, and low when the linear material is large, and may be, for example, 30 to 70 degrees, preferably 40 to 70 degrees.
60 degrees. The linear material was formed of silicone rubber, and when the diameter was about 5 mm, the hardness was appropriately 45 to 55 degrees.

The shape of the substrate on which the linear material is planted corresponds to the shape of the object to be cleaned. The substrate is formed in a trapezoidal cross section or a rod shape, and the linear material implanted on the surface is covered with the linear material. The cleaning object is formed into a shape that can be uniformly contacted with the entire cleaning surface. The substrate is made of hard plastic or metal such as aluminum or wood.

[0013] The position and the number of standing of the linear material with respect to the base of the rotating brush are set so that the object to be cleaned can be washed evenly. Plant at intervals. When a plurality of linear materials are collectively planted, the number of the linear materials may be two to fifteen at intervals, or a larger number of linear materials, for example, twenty to thirty may be collectively planted. It is optional, such as planting at one or several places. It is also possible to use a combination of linear materials having different sizes. Thus, when planting a plurality of linear materials together,
The number to be collected is selected according to various conditions such as the hardness, size, length, etc. of the linear material, or the shape of the object to be cleaned. Select the number that can elastically deform along the cleaning surface of the object to be cleaned.

The means for planting the linear material on the substrate is optional.
For example, the end of the linear material that is folded in two into a bottomed hole provided in the base is tightly inserted or inserted and bonded. Further, it is also possible to provide a through-hole in the base, insert a linear material into the through-hole, and attach the large-diameter portion for locking at the end of the linear material to the end of the through-hole to be attached. is there.

As described above, when the water jet holes are provided in the base of the rotating brush, when the rotating brush is rotated by the hydraulic turbine to remove the deposits on the object to be cleaned, the water in the casing is removed. The water is ejected from the water ejection hole into the object to be cleaned through the water supply passage and the water supply passage of the shaft.

[0022]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a dishwashing apparatus comprising a rubber-like linear material having a flexibility of about 4 to 8 mm and a deformable elasticity in a sectional shape erected on a base of a rotating brush. Curve the surface of the dish, dish or other object to be cleaned.
In this state, the rotating brush is rotated without rotating the object to be cleaned, and the adhered material of the object to be cleaned is removed by the respective linear members. The diameter of each linear material is considerably larger than the diameter of the thread-like thin fiber constituting the conventional rotary brush, so that the contact area of each linear material with the object to be cleaned is increased, and in contact with the object to be cleaned. Since the rebound resilience of the elastically deformed linear material is increased, it is possible to efficiently separate the attached matter on the object to be cleaned.

In the case of a rotary brush in which the linear members are planted on the substrate at intervals of one by one, the linear members are brought into contact with the object to be cleaned, and each linear member is bent in a substantially curved state. Occurs. Even in the case of a rotating brush in which a plurality of linear materials are planted together, the number of each linear material is extremely small as compared with the number of thread-like thin fibers which are bundled and planted in the conventional rotating brush. Therefore, there is substantially an interval between the respective linear objects bent in contact with the object to be cleaned, and it is less likely that the respective linear members come into pressure contact with each other. Therefore, the adhered matter separated from the object to be cleaned can be easily separated from the object to be cleaned and the rotating brush by centrifugal force or the like. The separated deposit can be more easily separated from the object to be cleaned and the rotating brush. Also, even if the adhered matter separated from the object to be cleaned is re-adhered to the linear material of the rotating brush when the cleaning is completed, the linear material is sprayed by spraying a cleaning liquid such as water on the linear material. Deposits can be easily separated from the material. For this reason, it is easy to always maintain the sanitary state of the rotating brush in a good state.

In the dishwashing apparatus according to a third aspect of the present invention , the rotating brush is rotated by a hydraulic turbine, and the object to be cleaned is washed by the rotating brush. In addition, the hydraulic turbine does not cause trouble such as failure due to being wet with water. Therefore, unlike the case of using a motor, it is not necessary to seal the housing of the motor with water. Then, the water that has collided with the rotating blades can be collected and reused for cleaning an object to be cleaned, and the rotating brush can be economically rotated.

In the hydraulic turbine, the shaft of the rotating brush is directly fixed to the rotating blade, and the rotating blade is housed in the casing. Then, the amount of water ejected into the casing and rotating the rotor is substantially equal to the amount of water discharged from the casing, water is retained in the casing, and the rotor is rotated in the retained water. In the washing device, the accumulated water rotates together with the rotating blades,
Since the retained water becomes resistant to the rotation of the rotor, the rotation speed of the rotor decreases and the torque increases. Therefore,
It is not necessary to provide a special speed reducer, it is possible to simplify the configuration of the hydraulic turbine, and no vibration occurs in the rotating blades with the rotation of the rotating blades. Rotate smoothly.

It is also possible to interpose a reduction gear using gears or the like between the hydraulic turbine and the shaft of the rotary brush to rotate the rotary brush with the hydraulic turbine. It is easy to rotate the rotating blades, and it is easy to obtain a large torque, which contributes to improving the cleaning effect by the rotating brush.

[0027] In the dishwasher configured to eject water from a water ejection hole provided in the base of the rotating brush, the water ejected into the casing and rotating the rotating wings passes through the water supply channel and the water supply channel. From the water outlet, the rotating brush squirts into the cleaning section of the object to be cleaned. Therefore, the water spouted from the rotating brush accelerates the separation of the adhered matter of the object to be cleaned by the linear material of the rotating brush, and the water flows the adhered matter separated from the object to be cleaned to cover the object. It is removed from the cleaning object and the rotating brush to prevent the deposit from re-adhering to the rotating brush. Then, since the water in the casing is jetted from the rotating brush, the configuration can be simplified, and the jetted water can accurately collide with the cleaning surface of the object to be cleaned such as a concave shape. And contributes to improving the efficiency of cleaning the object to be cleaned. In addition, since the cleaning device preliminarily cleans the inner surface of the object to be cleaned before cleaning with the rotary brush, with water jetted from the pre-cleaning nozzle,
The water that rotates the rotor can be used efficiently,
In addition, it is possible to more sufficiently remove the attached matter by washing the object to be washed with the rotating brush.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a dishwashing apparatus according to the present invention, wherein both ends of an object to be washed are placed on a pair of guide rails, a hook of a conveyor is interlocked therewith, intermittently transferred and pressed by a pressing member, and the rotary brush is rotated. To stop above. Then, the rotating brush is raised together with the hydraulic turbine by the vertical movement means, the linear material of the rotating brush is bent in contact with the object to be cleaned, and the rotating brush is directly rotated by the hydraulic turbine to wash the object to be cleaned. . When the cleaning is completed, the rotating brush is moved down by the vertical movement means to transfer the object to be cleaned. The hydraulic turbine is configured by housing the rotor blades in a casing, and rotates the rotor blades together with water retained in the casing. Therefore, the number of rotations can be appropriately reduced, and a reduction gear is not required.

Reference numeral 39 denotes a wire having each end fixed to the free end of the swing member 35 and the cam 38, and an intermediate portion thereof is supported by a plurality of rollers 40,
By the rotation of the cam 38 by the motor 37, the swing member 35 swings up and down, and the swing member 35 that has swung upward becomes substantially horizontal. The motor 37 is configured so that a state in which the swing member 35 is swung upward by the cam 38 can be maintained for a set time by a timer (not shown).

On the swing member 35, a hydraulic turbine
The casing 18 of 11 is placed, and the swing member 35 is
It is attached to. Therefore, when the swing member 35 swings downward, the rotating brush 1 attached to the hydraulic turbine 11 is positioned below the guide rails 32a, 32b,
The object to be cleaned placed on the guide rails 32a and 32b can be slid. When the swing member 35 swings upward and becomes substantially horizontal, the rotating brush 1 rises and the linear material 3
However, it comes into contact with the object to be cleaned stopped on the guide rails 32a and 32b, and is bent by elastic deformation.

Numeral 41 denotes a support plate made of hard plastic or metal, which is disposed on the upper side of the guide rails 32a and 32b substantially in a horizontal direction substantially opposite to the swing member 35 and prevents the object to be cleaned from rising. The end opposite to the traveling direction of 33b is inclined upward to enable the object to be cleaned to smoothly enter the lower side of the support plate 41. Reference numeral 42 denotes a holding plate made of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene fixed to the lower surface of the support plate 41, which prevents rotation of the object to be cleaned in contact with the lower surface thereof, and slides the object to be cleaned during transfer by the chain conveyors 33a and 33b.

Reference numeral 43 denotes a plurality of support rods fixedly provided on the upper surface of the holding plate 41, 44a and 44b denote a pair of support bolts attached to the upper part in the washing chamber 31 in a hanging manner, and 45 denotes support bolts 44a and 44a. A support member 45a, 45b is erected and slidably mounted on 44b, and support bolts 44a, 44

Each of the support rods 43 is slidably inserted through a plurality of support pipes fixedly penetrating therethrough,
A support nut 43a is attached to each end of the support rod 43. 47 is an urging spring attached between the holding plate 41 and the support pipe 46, and urges the holding plate 42 downward. Therefore, when the position of the support member 45 with respect to the support bolts 44a, 44b is adjusted by moving the adjustment nuts 45a, 45b, the holding plate 42 moves up and down, and the guide rail 32
The pressing plate 42 can be made to correspond to the height of the object to be cleaned such as a dish placed on the a, 32b, and the pressurized state of the object to be cleaned by the pressing plate 42 can be adjusted. It is not necessary to limit the material forming the holding plate 42 to ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, but it is also possible to use another hard or soft plastic or rubber.

Reference numeral 48 denotes a pre-cleaning nozzle (see FIG. 6) formed by extending the drain pipe 28 provided in the casing 18 and bending the tip thereof upward.
It is located below the article to be cleaned, which stops upstream.

It is.

The dishwasher 30 configured as described above is
Water is jetted from the nozzle 21 of the hydraulic turbine 11 to rotate the rotary wing 12, thereby rotating the rotary brush 1 together with the shaft 8. Then, a part of the water that is jetted into the casing 18 and pressurized is jetted from the pre-wash nozzle 48. And the motor 37
, The hydraulic turbine 11 is swung up and down together with the swing member 35, and the washing water is jetted from each of the main washing nozzles 50a and 50b and the finish washing nozzles 51a and 51b. On the other hand, both ends of the dish 54 facing downward are placed on the guide rails 32a and 32b at the entrance 52, and the hooks 34a and 34b of the chain conveyor 33a and 33b that advance intermittently are engaged with the dish 54 to lock the guide rail 32a. , 32b, and the plate 54 is moved to the upper position of the pre-cleaning nozzle 48 and the rotary brush 1 and the main cleaning nozzle.
Repetition of stopping for a set time sequentially between each of the finish cleaning nozzles 51a and 51b and the finish cleaning nozzles 51a and 51b is repeated. The plate 54 located above the rotary brush 1 enters the lower side of the holding plate 42 and slightly moves the holding plate 42 upward against the elasticity of the urging spring 46. That is, the plate 54 is slightly pressed against the guide rails 32a and 32b by the resilience of the biasing spring 46.

Therefore, the inner surface of the plate 54 stopped as described above is first washed with water jetted from the pre-wash nozzle 48. Next, when the plate 54 is stopped in contact with the holding plate 42, the swing member 35 is lifted and the linear member 3 of the rotating brush 1 is moved.
Is in contact with the inner surface of the plate 54 and bends and rotates with elastic deformation,
Deposits relatively firmly adhered to the inner surface of the dish 54 are also separated.
At the same time, a part of the pressurized water in the casing 18 collides with the inner surface of the ejection plate 54 from the water ejection hole 7 of the base 2 via the water supply passage 26 and the water supply passage 9. For this reason, the water spouted from the water spouting holes 7 facilitates the separation of the deposits on the plate 54, and the deposits separated from the plate 54 flow to be removed from the plate 54, the linear member 3, and the base 2.

As described above, since the plate 54 when the rotating brush 1 is being washed is pressed by the holding plate 42, it does not move upward and does not rotate due to friction with the holding plate 42. When the rotating brush 1 cleans the inner surface of the plate 54 for a set time, the rotating brush 1 is separated from the plate 54 by the downward swing of the swing member 35. And chain conveyor 33
a, 33b intermittently transport the plate 54 and perform main cleaning nozzles 50a, 50b.
b, so that both sides of the plate 54 are
Washing solution 50b is washed. The plate 54 after the main cleaning is stopped between the finish cleaning nozzles 51a and 51b, and the finish cleaning nozzles 51a and 51b are stopped.
After finishing washing with clean water squirting out from the outlet 51b, go to the outlet 53.

Since the rotating brush 1 is rotated by the hydraulic turbine 11 as described above, the dishwashing device 30 does not require waterproofing and wiring as in the case of using a motor, and has a simple structure and cost. It is easy to lower. The hydraulic turbine 11 has rotating blades in a casing 18.
Since the rotating blades 12 are configured to be housed in the water and retained in the casing 18 and rotated in the water, the rotating blades 12 can be smoothly rotated without generating vibration or the like. Further, since the water in the casing 18 becomes a resistance to the rotation of the rotor 12 and lowers the rotation speed of the rotor 12, it is unnecessary to provide a speed reduction mechanism for the rotor 12;
Cost reduction is possible.

Although the casing 18 of the first embodiment is rectangular, a circular water guide wall 22 is provided along the outer peripheral edge of the rotary blade 12, so that the inside of the casing 18 accompanying the rotation of the rotary blade 12 is formed. Of the stagnation water occurs along the water guide wall 22. For this reason, since the retained water flows smoothly, the rotating blades 12 can rotate smoothly, and the number of rotations is appropriately reduced to increase the torque. In addition, the first embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the rotating discs 13a and 13b
Each of the wing plates 15 is made of stainless steel so that the weight of the rotor blades 12 is relatively large. Therefore, the rotation of the rotor 12 rotated by the water jetted from the nozzle 21 is in a state where the rotation of the rotor 12 is moistened by its weight.
Rotates more smoothly and quietly, and its torque increases. Therefore, the rotating brush 1 in which the linear material 3 is appropriately pressed against the inner surface of the dish 54 to be cleaned is strongly rotated to efficiently and accurately remove the deposits on the dish 54. Is possible. In addition, it is also possible to make the necessary portion of the casing 18 into an arc shape and remove the water guide wall 22.

The rotary blade 12 has a configuration in which a blade 15 is arranged between rotary disks 13a and 13b.
A water receiving recess 17 closed in a bag shape is provided at the end between the nozzles 15, and the nozzle 21 jets water toward the water receiving recess 17 to collide with the water. Can be converted more efficiently. Since the opening of the casing 18 is closed by the lid plate 19, the water retained in the casing 18 is pressurized, and a part of the pressurized water is ejected from the pre-cleaning nozzle 48 through the drain port 27. Since the inner surface of the plate 54 before cleaning with the rotary brush 1 is preliminarily cleaned with the water jetted from the pre-cleaning nozzle 48, the water obtained by rotating the rotary wings 12 can be efficiently used,
In addition, it is possible to more sufficiently remove the deposit by washing the plate 54 with the rotating brush 1. The water discharged from the drain port 27 is arbitrary, such as being used for another purpose or being discharged as it is.

Another part of the pressurized water retained in the casing 18 is supplied to a water conduit 26 communicating with a communication hole 25 at an end of the bottom plate 18a.
Then, the inner surface of the plate 54 is washed by being ejected from the water ejection port 7 of the base 2 through the water supply passage 9 of the shaft 9 penetrating the bottom plate 18a. In this manner, the dish 54 that has been cleaned with the linear material 3 of the rotating brush 1 is also cleaned with water that is jetted from the base 2. Therefore, the inner surface of the plate 54 can be more efficiently cleaned, and
The attached matter removed from 54 is sequentially flowed, and the removed matter is dished.
54 and the rotating brush 1 are sequentially removed. The linear material 3 of the rotating brush 1 is as large as about 5 mm in diameter, and the removed material easily separates from the linear material 3 and flows, and the linear material 3
Since it is possible to prevent the rotation brush 1 from remaining in the middle, the sanitary state of the rotating brush 1 can be always kept in a good state.

The entire amount of water discharged from the casing 18 can be discharged from the drain port 27 without providing the water jet port 7 in the base 2. In this case, it is unnecessary to provide the water conduit 26 in the casing 18. The arrangement of the blades 15 in the rotary blade 12 is arbitrary, and, for example, the blades may be projected radially on the peripheral surface of the shaft. The swing means of the swing member 35 is also optional, and the swing member 35 can be swung by an air cylinder or the like. For example, about 20 to 30 pieces of the linear material 3 are arranged on the base 2 and are planted on the top surface of the trapezoidal base 2, and several are planted on the slope. For example, the plant may be planted so as to be suitable for cleaning the inner surface of the object to be cleaned. The shape of the base 2 is also formed corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the object to be cleaned, and may be formed in a spherical shape or a rod shape. As the wire 39, any flexible material such as a chain can be used, and the position of the motor 37 can be selected to swing the swing member 35 with a straight bar.

As the prime mover 74, a hydraulic turbine or a motor as shown in the first embodiment or the tenth embodiment is used.

In the cleaning apparatus according to the eleventh embodiment, the rotating brush 1 is rotated by the motor 74 in a state where water is injected into the water tank 73.
Then, the inner surface of the object to be cleaned, which is held downward by hand, is lightly pressed against the linear member 3 of the rotating rotary brush 1, and the object is cleaned with the linear member 3. Since the linear material 3 has a rectangular cross-section, the edge of the linear material 3 also has a function of removing the attached matter of the object to be cleaned, so that the attached matter can be more efficiently removed.

As described above, the dishwashing apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention uses a rubber-like linear material having a cross section of about 4 to 8 mm and having flexibility and elastic deformation as a base. The rotating brush is constituted by planting. Therefore, when the linear material is lightly pressed against the object to be cleaned and bent by elastic deformation, the contact area between the linear material and the object to be cleaned increases, and the rebound resilience of the linear material is relatively large. Therefore, the rotation of the rotating brush can efficiently remove the deposits on the object to be cleaned. In addition, since the linear material is relatively large as described above, even when a plurality of the linear materials are erected together, the standing state of each linear material is the same as that of the conventional rotary brush. It becomes considerably coarse compared to the state. For this reason, the adhered matter removed from the object to be washed does not enter between the linear materials and becomes difficult to separate, and is easily separated by centrifugal force at the time of rotation or washing, so that the rotating brush is always sanitized. Can be used in a typical state.

In this case, the object to be cleaned is washed with the rotary brush, and the object to be cleaned is washed with the cleaning liquid ejected from the nozzle, so that the attached matter on the object to be cleaned can be more efficiently removed.

In a dishwashing apparatus according to a second aspect of the present invention, a rotary brush for cleaning an object to be cleaned is rotated by a hydraulic turbine. Therefore, unlike the conventional example, the waterproof treatment is not required as in the case where the rotating brush is rotated by the motor, and the maintenance and management of the hydraulic turbine is easy without the possibility of failure due to water. In addition, since the structure of the hydraulic turbine is simplified, it is easy to reduce the cost.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the dishwashing apparatus, the entire rotor blades of the hydraulic turbine for rotating the rotary brush are accommodated in a casing, and water impinging on the rotor blades is retained in the casing. The rotating blades are rotated together with the retained water. Therefore, the rotation speed of the rotor can be reduced by the resistance of the water, and it is not necessary to provide a reduction gear, so that the cost can be reduced.
In addition, since the rotating blades are rotated together with the retained water, it is possible to operate the rotor blades calmly by preventing the rotor blades from being bounced and increasing the torque and generating vibration and the like.

In this case, the shaft of the rotating brush is formed in a pipe shape, a water supply passage is formed in the shaft, and a water ejection hole is provided in the base of the rotating brush in communication with the water supply passage. Then, the opening of the casing of the hydraulic turbine that rotates the rotating brush is closed with a lid plate, so that the water remaining in the casing can be pressurized, and a part of the pressurized water passes through the water supply path of the shaft. It is ejected from the water ejection hole of the base. That is, while the object to be cleaned is washed with the rotating brush, the cleaning surface of the object to be cleaned is washed with water jetted from the base. Therefore, the object to be cleaned can be more efficiently cleaned by the rotating brush, and the adhered matter removed from the object to be cleaned is sequentially and efficiently flown with the water to be removed from the object to be cleaned and the rotating brush. Therefore, it is easy to maintain the sanitary state of the rotating brush in a good state. Then, since a part of the pressurized water in the casing is ejected from the rotating brush via the water supply path of the shaft, the configuration can be simplified.
Further, as the linear material of the rotating brush, a rubber material having a flexibility of about 4 to 8 mm in cross section and capable of elastic deformation is used (claim 4).

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the dishwashing apparatus of the present invention, each of the wing walls constituting the rotary wing is disposed substantially in a tangential direction of a pair of rotary plates, and is disposed between the end portions of each adjacent wing wall. A water receiving recess is formed, and water spouted from the nozzle is jetted toward the water receiving recess. Therefore, the energy of the water spouting from the nozzle can be efficiently converted to the rotational force of the rotor,
The object to be cleaned can be efficiently cleaned by rotating the rotating brush strongly.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a dishwashing apparatus for intermittently transporting an object to be cleaned having both ends mounted on a pair of spaced parallel guide rails with hooks standing upright on a pair of conveyors. Then, the object to be cleaned is stopped below the holding member. The linear material of the rotating brush is brought into contact with the object to be cleaned held by the holding member, and the rotating brush is rotated to wash the object to be cleaned. Therefore, the object to be cleaned can be continuously and efficiently cleaned.
